The race began at Waterfront Park on the banks of the Willamette River. The course offered a fast, scenic tour of the Rose City, featuring a downtown start and finish, two iconic bridge crossings, and a riverfront route through Portland’s most beloved neighborhoods and landmarks.

The course featured a fast, flat elevation profile ideal for strong performances. With a start and finish just 36 feet above sea level and a max elevation of only 178 feet, several of our runners took advantage of a course built for speed and hit PR’s on the course.

We filled the whole race weekend with an itinerary of events just for MTS runners. From Saturday’s team shakeout run and welcome reception to Sunday’s VIP lounge, live scoring, and post-race brunch, it was a weekend built for connection, celebration, and competition.

For all our races, each team is made up of 7 runners, with the top 5 adjusted finish times counting toward the team score. Every runner still plays a vital role, whether scoring or supporting.

For all our races, scoring is based on a time average that includes age and gender-based time bonuses. This levels the field so all runners can contribute meaningfully, regardless of age or gender.
